PSU isn't gonna be that bad with Hack coming back. Especially if they shore up that Oline. 

Can't believe I'm saying this but IU might be decent if they can keep their QB healthy and replace Coleman with a decent backup. Oh and get an average defense.

I would like to think Hack just suffered from Devin Gardner Syndrome, in which he was battered so much (due to shitty Oline play) he got antsy resulting in bad decisions. Oh and it doesn't seem like Franklin can coach him as well as BoB did his freshman year.

I think that second number explains the other two (he actually had 12 TD passes, not 8, if you count the bowl game), and why people figure him getting a chance at all back there is good.  That team couldn't do anything else offensively, and while I'm not buying into him being an elite QB, he and that defense still got them to 7 wins.

Randle El is a year younger than me, so yeah, it's coming up on twenty years ago. Point taken. More recently than him, perhaps Marcus Thigpen, but only because he is in the school's top 5 in terms of all-purpose yards. I am thinking out loud there, but yeah, it doesn't happen there too often, and Thigpen was no Antwaan Randle El.

Interestingly, Randle El's time there coincides with Cam Cameron's time at Indiana, where he finished with a cool 18-37 record, as I recall.

His name is Jordan Howard from UAB as a transfer and is eligible to play immediately. He ran for over 1,500 yards last season. He's really good and may be the 2nd best back in the conference after Zeke Elliot.

I just saw something on a Cleveland sports focused website where one of the staff writers' friends put $20 down on OSU to win the title after they lost to Virginia Tech. Odds? 75-1

Last year Bovada listed the preseason favorites for the championship playoff series, which consisted of Alabama, Florida State, Oregon and Ohio.

The four teams I've bet on are Michigan, Clemson, Texas A&M, and Kansas State. I believe Clemson is the overwhelming favorite in my eyes to win it all. They have the talent to win, and they'll have an easy route to the championship. The odds love them. Michigan I bet on because of fandom and JH. Texas A&M might be the most talented non Alabama team, and they have Chavis. Kansas State is a team I believe will catch many by surprise. I pick the teams I follow in the off-season and I only bet on these 3 teams. (I don't bet on Michigan games), and I watch each of their games and their opponents and bet weekly. Some weeks I bet ATS and pick them to win. Some I bet on the other team to win, or I bet on them to lose with the MoneyLine and I usually always bet on the Over/Under
